River Hongbao returns with performance troupes from overseas
Posted: 04 February 2008 2041 hrs
SINGAPORE: River Hongbao returns this year with three performing groups from overseas, so if you are heading to the Esplanade Park during the Lunar New Year celebrations, expect songs, tribal dances and even acrobatic feats.
Singer Qiu Lin is said to sound a lot like the late Taiwanese songstress Teresa Teng. Even her cheongsam used to belong to the singer and is on loan from Teng's brother.
Qiu Lin is performing at the River Hongbao from 5 to 7 February.
Joining her in the chorus is a troupe from Tibet called the Lhasa Municipal Ethnic Art Troupe.
There are also acrobats from Taiwan who will be cart-wheeling to the songs of Taiwanese tribal minorities.
The groups perform from 8pm to 10pm every night from 4 to 16 February.
On Lunar New Year's eve, the performance will run from 10pm to 12.30am.

Ekstra! : 23 Februari 2008
KONSERT SOLO
SITI DI ESPLANADE
Peluang saksi Siti beraksi lepas tukar kepada imej bertudung
Oleh
Hanim Mohd Saleh
MENURUT bisik-bisik pasaran pementasan, bukan mudah untuk mendapatkan diva muda, Datin Seri Siti Nurhaliza, memenuhi undangan menyanyi sejak bergelar isteri.
Kalau semasa zaman anak daranya, sesetengah pemaju konsert terpaksa membuat tempahan setahun lebih awal jika mahu mendapatkan penyanyi tersohor itu, sekarang keadaannya terbalik.
Siti enggan memberi kepastian jika tarikhnya masih terlalu lama. Paling tidak, tiga bulan!
Sebabnya? Siti dikatakan bersungguh-sungguh menyiapkan diri untuk menjadi ibu dan tidak mahu terperangkap dengan undangan seandainya beliau didapati hamil.
Tetapi setelah pasti kemungkinan kehamilan itu belum menunjukkan tanda, Siti akhirnya bersetuju untuk mengadakan konsert solonya yang pertama di Esplanade Teater Di Pesisiran dalam jangka masa terdekat ini - 21 Mac (cuti umum Good Friday).
Ia konsert solo besar pertama Siti di sini sejak 2005 dan sejak berumah tangga dengan usahawan, Datuk Seri Khalid Mohd Jiwa.
Ia juga merupakan konsert pertamanya di sini dengan keadaan Siti berimej tudung.
Eksekutif Perancangan Esplanade, Cik Norhayati Yusoff, ketika mengesahkan konsert tersebut kepada Berita Harian, berkata pihaknya gembira kerana akhirnya berjaya mendapatkan persetujuan daripada pihak Siti untuk mengadakan konsert solo tersebut.
Konsert itu merupakan sebahagian daripada siri Pentas, acara Melayu setiap empat bulan yang dianjurkan Esplanade sepanjang tahun.
Ia akan diadakan di Dewan Teater Esplanade yang boleh menampung 1,800 tempat duduk.
'Memang agak tergesa-gesa konsert ini diadakan tetapi kami tidak dapat elakkan kerana pihak Siti sendiri yang sukar memberikan kata putus.
'Ini memandangkan Siti tidak mahu membuat komitmen projek yang dijadualkan lebih daripada tempoh tiga bulan,' kata Cik Norhayati.
Beliau menambah, pihak Esplanade yakin Siti masih mempunyai daya tarikan yang kuat biarpun sudah berumah tangga, bahkan menilaikannya sebagai penyanyi yang semakin matang.
Berbeza daripada konsert Siti yang biasanya sarat dengan penari latar moden dan tradisional, Cik Norhayati berkata persembahan kali ini lebih bersifat mesra penonton, dengan tumpuan diberi kepada vokal dan muzik akoustik saja.
'Kami berharap, menerusi konsert itu, Siti dakan dapat memperlihatkan kematangannya sebagai seorang seniwati secara menyeluruh.
'Kami yakin Siti sudah bersedia berinteraksi dengan penonton dengan hanya menggunakan kekuatan vokal, penjiwaan dan pengalamannya menguasai pentas,' tambah pegawai itu lagi.
Dengan konsep mesra penonton itu, pihak Esplanade memberi penyanyi tersebut kebebasan memilih lagu, tanpa perlu terikat dengan sebarang tema.
'Kami yakin, Siti akan menyentuh hati penonton dengan lagu-lagu yang banyak meninggalkan kenangan manis dan pengalaman kerjayanya dalam bidang seni,' tambah beliau lagi.
Selain konsert Siti, Esplanade juga bakal membawa sekali lagi muzikal Puteri Gunung Ledang pada Mei ini dengan barisan pelakon yang sama kecuali watak Hang Tuah (yang sebelum ini dijayakan oleh Stephen Rahman-Hughes). Siapa pengganti watak itu, belum dapat dipastikan.
'Kami juga masih berbincang untuk membawa ke sini muzikal My Name Is Remy, muzikal mengenai riwayat hidup Allahyarham P.Ramlee. Kemungkinan ia hanya dapat dilakukan tahun depan kerana pihak penerbit sendiri belum bersedia untuk membawanya ke Singapura,' kata Cik Norhayati lagi.
Tiket konsert berharga $60, $80, $120, $160, $220 dan $300 (tempat duduk VIP) boleh dibeli di kaunter Sistic (hotline 65-6348-5555) atau menerusi www.sistic.com atau www.esplanade.com. |

20,000 jobs up for grabs at mega career fair
Over 600 exhibitors and companies from 20 countries are looking to fill the openings
By Jessica Lim
MORE than 20,000 jobs are up for grabs at the largest career and education exhibition which opens its doors to the public on Thursday at Suntec Singapore.
Over 600 exhibitors and companies from 20 countries are looking to fill the openings, which include more than 5,000 spots in educational institutions.
The Singapore Tourism Board has projected that some 50,000 to 60,000 additional jobs will be created by the end of 2010.
Minister of state for Education and Manpower Gan Kim Yong, who was present at the opening ceremony on Thursday morning, said: 'The new integreated resorts, hotels and shopping malls, as well as conventions and events like the F1 race, will generate numerous opportunities in the tourism sector.'
He emphasised the importance of students making informed decisions on their courses of study and, subsequently, their careers.
The new features of the exhibition, which has been running for over 20 years, include a scholarship corner, which provides information on the scholarships avaialble, as well as an online job and course search.
Another first is the Silver Talent Pavilion, where matured workers will be able to seek employment in the landscape, healthcare and security sectors.
Said Ms Lynette Loo, the project director of ERC institute who expects to recruit more than 100 new students:'Of all the students who sign up, we expect 40 per cent to sign up for tourism courses. It is such a popular area now.'
The event, Career 2008 & Education 2008, will run till March 2 at Suntec Singapore in Halls 601 to 603 on level 6. Admission is free. |
